I’m Anna

I am a dancer, award-winning social entrepreneur, qualified teacher, and ICF Certified Coach.

Originally from France, I have been living between the UK, Canada, and around the world.

I hold a Master’s degree in Law from France, along with Postgraduate Degrees from both the UK and Canada, where I also trained and qualified as a teacher.

Alongside my academic journey, I started dancing in nightclubs in my teens - sensuality always felt natural to me. I spent 15 years performing internationally as a stage dancer, pole dancer, and stripper. I learned to own my sensuality, embody presence, and trust the language of the body.

In my 30s, I founded and led a Canadian charity as Executive Director, securing over $2 million in funding and growing it into an annual turnover of $500,000. The charity continues to operate today, delivering long-term impact for marginalised communities.

My most recent leadership role was as Managing Director of a London-based social enterprise.

I have received more than 8 international awards for my work, including the King’s Award, presented at Windsor Castle by His Majesty King Charles III, and the Innovation Award received at the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Paris.

Featured in 50+ international media outlets, I am known for my creative approach to leadership and self-expression.


"For years, I felt embarrassed to have done so many different things.

I thought I was all over the place.

Now I understand. This is what makes me special."

My Approach

My approach is what I call asset-based. Rather than focusing on what’s missing or broken, we start with what’s already alive in you - your strengths, your desires, your unique energy.

The parts you’ve been told are “too much” or “not enough” are often your greatest gifts. We work with what makes you magnetic, what drives you, what moves you - and we shape your next chapter from there.

With my experience in leadership, I bring structure, clarity, and grounded presence.

But I also bring embodiment. I’m a dancer, a sensualist, and a creative. I work from the mind, the body, and the senses - because real change isn’t intellectual, it’s visceral.

The body is our starting point.

My work blends movement, creative expression, deep inquiry, and group momentum.

There’s dance. There’s writing. There’s silence and stillness, too - and space for real conversations.

The body is always our starting point. That’s where truth lives. That’s where energy shifts. That’s where your power becomes tangible.

I keep my groups intentionally small, because I believe in the exponential power of collective energy. When a group of women moves with a shared intention, the growth is amplified. It becomes more honest, more electric, more attainable.

Working with me means both structure and spaciousness. Discipline and freedom. Sensuality and rigour.

It means coming back to yourself - fully and unapologetically.
